Forest Road 250 provides public access to the Conejos River in the Rio Grande National Forest, with multiple developed campgrounds and pull-off areas for fishing access along the route. The road is a maintained gravel forest service road (28.

8 miles total) that runs from Highway 17 to Platoro Reservoir at approximately 10,000 feet elevation, though conditions can be rough with washboarding and potholes, especially in the first 5-6 miles.

Note that the road may be seasonally closed from mid-March to mid-May due to snow, and motorized travel can be restricted by winter conditions.
